Why is it, do you think

that although the old 'Snug' notionally had far more members, more people actually appear interested in posting on this one?
Is this a can of worms, that I am going to regret having opened?
If so, Cambridge, you have my blessing to delete this.

I feel happier here knowing that I'm not going to get shot down for daring to post.

I think just because it's easier to find. Plus it's new, I don't mean this disrespectfully but I am sure the novelty will wear off.

If I may stick up for the Roof here, I never got the impression that anyone on there objected to women posting nor would they treat them any differently.

I certainly don't advocate creating a them and us mentality where one is seen as 'superior' or 'better', that runs contrary to the whole spirit of the endeavour.

It wasn't a male/female thing just that some people found it necessary to call others names and I'm getting too old for all that. Apart from one offensive post specifically for my attention I was made to feel very welcome.

What was amusing is that the person that called me something quite offensive on another post doesn't realise that they know me in "real life"... :D

I am surprised that anyone would think that there were any constraints on posting on the old Snug (till the final meltdown). Perhaps I was missing something.

I treat the whole thing just like Bill and Ted would. Be excellent to each other.

Long may it continue.

I hope SIOAGF and Lestagirl come to think of it don't feel like they're not welcome here or on Bentleys. I don't think that's what was meant by the comment but I stand to be corrected.

Edited to say I typed half of this, closed my iPad for a spot of lunch then didn't check back before submitting.

Don't worry, be happy.

I feel quite at home here and it's much better than hiding in the ladies loo waiting for the latest fight in the main bar to end before daring to venture out :)

Edited to add - and maybe catching a stray punch in the melee.

None of which really answers my question. The Snug itself was a refuge from the Main Bar. So why do people prefer this snug to the old one?

It's new and doesn't carry any baggage so others that objected to the old snug can't complain about it, or those that post, or the number of posts, which makes it more pleasant to post in.

I'm probably not explaining myself very well but then again I am only a girl. :wub:

Yeah, right. You know that most of us men realised a long time ago that we were the inferior half of the race.

Personally, I think the old snug was a bit cliquey (how do you spell that word?).

I think it was because, as Soho was fond of pointing out we weren't necessarily meant to be there, and it was a few of us that liked it and kept it going, so, by definition, the few of us became the clique.

Here, there are no cliques (yet!) so anyone can get in on the ground floor & feel like part of it.

I think the question will be a good one to ask in 3 months time, if we are still going strong & have created an environment where everyone feels welcome.

With respect to Soho, he was spouting a load of old bollocks.

Judging by his comments over on the dark side I don't think he's going to bother joining us.

I haven't posted a great deal on the Roof over the past few weeks but will probably do so as and when the mood suits.

This seems a much friendlier place (so far).

Morning all.
Just thought i would say hello again
(Whoops, wrong thread)

More females on here the better i say.
Too many males feel the need to swear at and threaten others to make themselves feel "manly"
Perhaps they are trying to ignore something lurking in their psyche?

Do we need to take cheap pops at people on the other board? Most posters on here have come to get away from that sort of thing.
In fact we don't really need to talk about them at all.
Anyway this thread was supposed to be about the differences between the old 'Snug' and the new and nowt to do with FOL at all.

Ok... the difference between the old snug and the new is that I can't work out how to put videos on it.

I saw the other thread about it, and I got a headache.

I have to say I haven't tried yet. I looked at the instructions, didn't understand them and gave up.
